Biology

Physiology

Pidgeot resembles a large, feathery bird with huge wings. It has a brightly colored crest and tail.

Many trainers are drawn to Pidgeot because of its lovely feathers. The beautiful colors of its crest are particularly striking.

It is easily confused with Pidgeotto because the only difference without a relative size comparison is that Pigeot's tail and crest coloring switch from those of Pidgeotto's.

Behavior

Pidgeot is even more dangerous than its previous evolutionary stage. This is because it is bulkier and more aggressive than Pidgeotto, enabling it to catch much bigger prey. A favorite target is Magikarp, which Pidgeot can spot from a great distance. Trainers should be very careful when approaching this Pokémon in the wild.

Natural abilities

Pidgeot is a powerful flier, capable of creating whirlwinds strong enough to bend trees. At maximum velocity, it can reach speeds of Mach 2 (around 1522.2 mph). Pidgeot can also fly faster than Staraptor if it wants to. With its powerful claws and strength, it can pick up almost any foe.

Appearances

Anime

Ash's Pidgeotto evolved into a Pidgeot in Pallet Party Panic and was released at the end of the episode. Ash remembers it in Fighting Flyer with Fire until in the Sun & Moon series, Pidgeot was briefly seen with both Pidgey and Pidgeotto in SM042 where Rotom Pokedex is taking pictures all of the wild Pokemon in the Kanto region and wants to record everything.

Trivia

Despite the fact its official height is only slightly higher than 4 feet, in the anime Pidgeot is almost always depicted as larger than the average human being. Ash's Pidgeot is the size of a horse and can carry Ash's weight, but in an episode of Pokémon: Battle Frontier the Pidgeot aiding Ash is only big enough to carry Pikachu on its back. However, both Pidgeot could have different lifestyles, despite living in the same district.

It is said that Pidgeot can fly faster than the speed of sound. This leads to the question of why Pidgeot does not naturally learn Sonic Boom.

Pidgeot's original beta name was Pidgeott.

Origins

It is based on some kind of bird. Its shiny form is possibly a Golden Eagle.

Names in other languages

Japanese: ピジョット(Pijiyotto in Romaji)is probably a combination of a pronunciation of the word "pigeon" and "jet".

English: Like its pre-evolved forms, Pidgeots' name comes from pidgeon.
